Last month, wecovered claims from the Turkish press which stated Galatasaray’s Barış Alper Yılmaz is on Aston Villa’s transfer agenda. The Villans aren’t the only English club looking at the winger as Newcastle United are also in the picture for him.
That’s at least what ABC Gazetesi are reporting, and they state Aston Villa and Newcastle have closely followed the 24-year-old.Galatasaray have secured a 2-1 win over in the first league game of the new season on Friday.
It’s claimed both Aston Villa and Newcastle had sent their scouts to Istanbul to take a closer look at Barış Alper Yılmaz, to ‘evaluate his potential’. He played the full 90 minutes while operating as a left winger.
Last season, Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk mainly used the Turkey international on the right wing, and he managed seven goals and 12 assists.ABC Gazetesi make no mention if Unai Emery’s side or the Magpies have plans to sign the 24-year-old this summer. His deal lasts until 2027.
On July 29th, Fotomaç stated the Turkish champions would need around €35m to sanction a move for Barış Alper Yılmaz.West Ham have been relentless in the transfer window this summer.Lopetegui, working closely alongside Tim Steidten, has brought in seven fantastic new signings already this summer.
Jean-Clair Todibo is the latest new arrival at the London Stadium, although we’re still awaiting for the official confirmation of the deal.The last week or so really has been ‘pinch yourself’ stuff for the Hammers fans.
However, one more addition that’s urgently needed is a new right-back, with a big upgrade required on Vladimir Coufal.Aaron Wan-Bissaka is clearly Lopetegui’s prime target, and it has been suggested that the 26-year-old is in advanced talks with West Ham.
The Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri has made plenty of headlines in the past.The club’s own supporters most often have been those negatively affected by his actions.However, even Sheffield Wednesday fans will have been stunned by this latest from Chansiri.
Talk about an own goal! The total opposite of the bizarre positive, when he somehow extracted £3m of Newcastle United’s money in compensation back in 2019, when for whatever reason was so desperate to have Steve Bruce as his latest stooge.
